I was thinking of my dad John today. This song came to mind & realized they’re saying JONES, not John. All this time thought it said John. Dad was slow walking, slow talking. May he RIP. We are blessed & blissed.

This is actually a live version and not a lip-sync. Sounds great to me and reminds me of being about 13 years old and just lovin' rock n'roll music.

Music is of the era they came- Coasters- I was a child, my Mom gave me 'Along Came Jones'- I still have, worn to gray-happy times for me. 2024, not so happy times, and the 'music' reflects these times-the biggest farce in 'music'- shit-hop & crappers-first upon naive black folks, then the clueless whites-tone deaf, with no sense of rhythm-and now this garbage has a 'category' in music. Where are the intelligible lyrics,?, the melody ? Gone- ELECT KAMALA !!!

The guy in the middle of the three is Earl Carroll. He was lead singer of the Cadillacs, Ie Gloriia, Speedo, Zoom. Earl toured for almost 20 years as one of the Coasters.

Yeah, he replaced the original lead singer. Years later , the original lead rejoined the group for a PBS Do Wop special. However, in 57 and 58, Earl performed only with the Cadillacs. He was also in the Alan Freed movie Go Johnny Go with the Cadillacs.

I really have always loved this one- it’s so much fun! A laugh, a giggle, a smile always occurs, every time.

[@TruthSurge]

wow. They didn't have a hi hat or any count in to the chorus in the playback tape so they had to wait till AFTER the downbeat to start singing! I never would have thought they'd do that cuz... you can just add a hi hat to the music and know when to come in. Those lead in notes (and then a...) are what makes the chorus so great. This tune is so unusual. Don't make songs even close to the 60s and 70s anymore. People back then CRAFTED the chords, melody, vibe, everything. Back when it was all about the music, not visuals.

[@oliverwashburn2860]

Always loved The Coasters as a kid. Had the 45; so long since I heard this actually forgot some of the lyrics, so thanks for this!

@@tacogillespie4561 He does the best he can to keep the Coasters legacy alive. He has a pretty good lineup as far as sound. The Del Vikings appeared on Do Wop 52 and Do Wop Live in the 90s. Their original lead singer was deceased, so his son did the lead on Whispering Bells. He was very good. In all, these Do Wop specials brought back many of the old groups but many original members had passed away. The substitutes did a pretty good job . There are some clips on U Tube.

Never heard Ray Stevens version and I don't want to. However, Sha Na Na does a great version of this song in a skit.

[@buddyroeginocchio9105]

Just for the purpose of historical perspective. The Coasters started their career several years before Ray Stevens. Along Came Jones was a Coasters hit in the summer of 1959 , Ray Stevens had his first hit 2 years later. In 1969, 10 years after Coasters, Stevens had a hit with Along Came Jones. Coasters and Stevens of course made a career of similar styled songs, arrangements and humor. They were all wonderful to watch in live performances.

Buck Owens did a much better version of this. It is really funny with his drummer Jerry Wiggins, at the time married to the beautiful Susan Raye, doing the some side voices.

[@wesleycook7687]

Surely you are kidding. Comparing the Coasters to Buck Owens is a slap in the face of the originals. No one but you probably ever heard Buck Owens' version. I have never heard the second rate Owens' version. He only had 2 hit songs in his life. Act Naturally was one. Tiger in My Tank I think was the other. This is most definitely not a country song. Lieber and Stoller wrote this for the Coasters. Or his other "hit" might have been Tiger By The Tail. I hated his stupid TV show and I left the room when he was on Hee Haw. The only other group that does this song justice is Sha Na Na in a skit on U Tube.
